Hey there, this is Alex with another honest review. This time I’m reviewing Doodly, a new doodle animation software launched by Jimmy Kim and Brad Callen.

I’ll cut straight to the chase and get to the reason you’re here:

WHAT IS DOODLY EXACTLY?

Doodly is a new desktop software that allows you to create doodle-style videos.

If you’re not familiar with Doodle Videos, also known as scribe videos or whiteboard animation videos, it’s a type of animated marketing videos that has a hand drawing the text and graphic elements on the presentation. It’s a “faceless” video technique and the perfect way to market your business with video and a great way to provide added value to your prospects or customers. Even if you have no camera, and all WITHOUT stepping into the spotlight to film yourself.

The Doodly software works on both Mac and Windows and it’s very easy to install. All you have to do is run the installation file provided and then log in with the login information that you receive upon purchase via email.

Doodly comes with a library packed with 200 custom characters, 20 DFY scenes, 200 props and the ability to upload your own files as well.

The basic license allows you to create unlimited doodle-style videos for your marketing.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The first step is to download the software, log in using your details and then choose whether you’d like to create a “Whiteboard” video or a “Blackboard” video.

Next, you can choose from the various different templates and elements provided inside the library. You just need to drag and drop them on the presentation and then edit them as you like.

One thing I’d like to point out is that you can also import your own characters, graphics, fonts and music tracks and use them for your videos.

There is also a timeline feature that lets you customize each video “slide”, change its settings and things like duration and delay for every element.

Once you’ve finished creating your video slides you can then choose an audio track or upload your own using the Importer. You could either upload a different music track or upload your own voiceover file.

Finally, you can export the video as an MP4 file to your hard drive and you’re done. It’s all very simple and easy to do and doesn’t require and special skills or experience.

MY THOUGHTS

As soon as I heard about this launch I got in touch with the vendor on Skype and asked for a review copy. Why? Because I believe that doodle-videos are a very powerful way to promote any product or service online. And don’t take my word for it, just look at the top converting product on Clickbank; they are all using doodle-style videos as their main sales videos (especially in the Weight loss niche).

Now the concept of this software is not something new. There are several tools out there that you can use to create Doodle videos. However, I was really impressed with this software because it works really fast and it’s also very easy to use. And out of all the other video creators I tried, the Doodly videos are the most realistic and professionally-looking that I have seen.

After testing out the software and creating a few doodle-style videos I have to say it’s very easy to use, it offers a wide variety of different templates, characters, animations and elements, and the videos also render and convert very fast when you hit Export.

Let me put it this way, if you have a video script ready, it wouldn’t take you more than 20-30 minutes to turn it into a high-converting Doodle-style video using this software.

I spent several hours testing it out and also took the time to create a video to show you exactly what you can create using Doodly. You can see my “test” video below:

This is just a “test” video that took me less than 10 minutes to create. Needless to say, I will be using this software A LOT in my business from now on. The first thing I plan to do is use it for Facebook Ads because I’ve found that video ads are slightly cheaper than normal text or image ads. Plus, they also convert better and are a lot more engaging than standard ads.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY

There is are several ways you can profit from Doodly. Here are a few ideas you can try…

1 – Use it to promote your products and services on Youtube and Facebook (most important). Video marketing is huge these days and using Doodly you can easily come up with a great sales video any product/service you want. Also, if you haven’t noticed already, videos are way better ranked on Facebook than standard posts.

2 – Use it to provide Doodle-style video creation services to local and online businesses. You could either post your services on sites like Fiverr or even build a real business providing this type of services to others. You could charge up to $500 to create Doodle video for clients and usually you don’t even have to create the video script as the client provides that. You just turn his script into a professional Doodle-style video using nothing but this software and charge top dollar for your time (regular Doodle video creators charge over $100 PER MINUTE).

3 – Use it to create promo videos to use with Facebook and Youtube Ads. Hope you realize the potential of that as video ads convert way better than standard ads in most niches. And from my experience, video ads are cheaper too.

4 – Use your brain, be creative and take action 😀

WHAT I DON’T LIKE

During my testing I didn’t find any bugs or missing features within the software. However, I did find something that I don’t like and that is, the fact that Doodly doesn’t have Support & Tutorials build within the interface. I honestly believe is absolutely no reason for a developer not to include a link to support or tutorials inside the program. It’s just pure laziness and I made sure to let them know about this.

Anyway, I’d also like to point out that you probably won’t need to watch any tutorials to use Doodly because it’s very, very easy to use and the whole process of creating a Doodle-style video is simple and straight-forward.

FINAL VERDICT

So what do I think of Doodly overall? Well, I have to say I was really impressed with this software. If you have followed me for any length of time you know that I spend a lot of time testing a product and I ALWAYS point out all the good (and the bad) things about it. However, I have nothing bad to say about Doodly except the Support & Tutorials issue I mentioned above.

I have used other tools in the past to create Doodle-style videos but none of them were so easy and simple to use as Doodly. It’s a really solid piece of software and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to promote their products/services using video marketing or even make money providing doodle-style video creation services to others.
